Well, yeah, I have to plug my own book!
After teaching ESL in Vancouver for a couple of years, around the winter of 2004 or so, I noticed a real need for teaching materials that could provide lessons with a local, Vancouver context.
There must be thousands of textbooks with lessons on what to say at a cafe, at the store, or getting on the bus.
Why not teach lessons about what to say in Blenz or Tim Horton's, or shopping at the Hudson's Bay Department Store, or getting on Skytrain?
Students learn better when they can relate to what they are learning.
I promptly set to work. A few months later, The Vancouver ESL Guide & Workbook was born!
